I am looking for some input on a good jacket. I had a leather with armor, it was heavey and hot. I looked at the lighter Joe Rocket. Is this enough protection. Is there a better jacket that is good for all types of rides...Cheers

 

get a perferated leateher with a removable liner

 

I have an AlpineStar with perforations in the front of the shoulders, removable armor, and removable liner. I love it.

 

im lookin for an HJC rite now, i guess they are very cheap since they switched to joe rocket, they have sweet jackets too

 

My old jacket was HJC and it was heavey, I want something lighter.. Iwas looking at the J.R. line and they're sweet. and price is reasoneable. Do you think they will protect a dump though??

 

my teknic jacket is the chicane model. with the pads removed is is pretty light and the entire front is perferated. plus it has zipper vents under the arms. also in the shoulders and elbows the leather is thicker so its still sumwhat padded for falling

 

whered you get it and how much $$$ am i lookin at??? i gotta find a jacket soon

 

That's what I got. It's pretty cool unless it's really hot outside. Mines been crash tested and approved also. I got mine from 1-888-Fastlap. I think that's the number. Marrieta Motorsports is the store. Paid like $260 I think.

 

syed leathers .com

the best jacket for comfort and will take a good spill or two

and they make them to fit you and you can get them full customized for about 500 dollars

 

I bought my full AGV Vortex 2-piece suit for around $400. It doesn't have a removable liner, but has some perfs in the front of the jacket.

I must say, it's amazingly cool. I've sat around my house in my suit and boots for a while (70* inside house) and I wasn't even sweating. And that's with Florida humidity. It's pretty warm in the winter time, too.

It's got lots of hard armor, but it can all be taken out. The fit is good, although a little baggy in the elbows due to armor. It took almost NO breaking in, either .. very supple, especially for 1.5mm leather.
